I can't say enough good thing about Formosa Electric. Our place went out of power one evening at close to 11pm, I wasn't able to get it back on even after resetting the electric panel. I tried to text a few 5 star rated electricians on Yelp, hoping to hear back on one of them so I can book the next day appointment asap. Formosa was one of the companies that responded even in this late hour and offered me a few tips and suggested that it could be the issue with our smart meter (Low voltage), and that I should first have PG&E take a look at our meter. PG&E came the next day, and it was indeed the faulty meter. Formosa Electric company is very experienced, honest and excellent in customer-service, willing to offer insights that save customers hassles and solves issues in the most efficient way. I will reach out to them again for any electrical problems in the future. read more

I reached out to Roger on Yelp to get a quote for a repair. He told me via yelp message what needed to be done, and did not require an electrician to come onsite. His suggestion resolved my problem without costing me anything. He could have easily charged me $150-200 to shut show up and "fix" the issue, but he did not and instead helped me save that money. He genuinely cares for his customers and doesn't want to rip them off. Thanks Roger! read more

I have a 60 years old house with original power panels. I have recently replaced furnace and added A/C. I was told by HVAC I don't have enough amp in my power panel. HVAC referred a couple of Electricians. I also asked my brother-in-law regarding EV charging. He has 2 EVs and I am planning to get one. He referred his electrician, Roger Lin from Formosa Electric. Roger asked me to take some photo of my panels and send over cell phone. The others came to my house to see my panels. Roger was the first to provide quote. Others took much longer. I signed with Roger rather quickly before other quotes came. Others in fact were 30 to 40 percent higher. Roger arranged PG&E schedule and the work started and completed yesterday. They show up on time with generator my family can continue to work from home with computers. Job done nicely. Roger replaced both my inside and outside panels. Also added 2 EV charging nema. The way EV going, we will all end up with 2 EV in garage. I will be calling Roger again to upgrade panels for my rental properties soon. read more

very high quality of work from Roger!! In April 2020 some area in my house lost power. Some other electrician came to take a look but after a few round of troubleshooting was not able to identified the root cause. I did not have power in those area for almost two months. My friend referred me Roger and he came as our saver. Very soon he identified its the arcing inside the breaker panel. He showed me clearly where the problem is and immediately help me arrange a panel replacement. In two weeks permit was done and pg&e came with Roger to do the work.

A friend recommended Roger to me for a panel upgrade. I called him and had a brief conversation with him. After that he went to my house and did an estimate. I felt bad because when he was here I wasn't and I was not able to let him in. But he was very patient and figured it out all by himself. Then he called me and explained how everything should work. He was very professional and provided a very reasonable quote, much better than the other electricians gave me. And from our conversation I could see that he was very knowledgeable. He also told me a lot of tricks in terms of being practical and smart in upgrading the electrical work. Although we ended up with working with a friend but not Roger, I will come back again since he knows what he is doing and he really thinks in the shoe of his clients.

I had a Tesla wall charger installed. Setup an appointment and was scheduled for an 8-9 AM start time. He arrived at 8AM promptly and we discussed the options that were available to install on my sub panel or on the main panel.

Installation was quick and clean and he confirmed with me before doing any work on the location of where the charger would be mounted exactly.

We are very fortunate to have found Roger! As a licensed electrician, Roger installed/replaced recess lights in all the rooms prior to our move, on time and with reasonable price. We were actually away on holiday but Roger would text us photos to make sure his work meets our expectation. We return to a clean and well-lit house. Very impressed that he and his crew clean up so well after themselves as well! We've subsequently hired Roger for smaller jobs like replacing all outlets in the house, install two way switches, outdoor lights, and fixtures, as well as fixing a shower head. He is jack of all trade - and a legit one! He always has good attitude and great customer service. He works all over east and south bay.

Projects for a condo and a single family house. Roger and his team helped our family upgraded the main and sub panels and installed additional outlets. We found Roger's info through Facebook's group recommendation. Roger is very responsive to text messages, very informative when talking on the phone and he gave us a reasonable quote (compared to several quotes I got from Yelp). On the actual working days, Roger and his team were on time, worked diligently and the results are great. For the Condo, since there's no attic, it took Roger and his team additional efforts to install the outlets in the second floor, they took the job without any complaint and did it well! For the single-family house, Roger took care of the communication with PG&E and inspection/permit with city government, process is smooth and no headache for us. We appreciate Roger and his team's work a lot. We will recommend Roger and his team to our friends. read more

One of the electric circuit doesn't work properly, after troubleshooting, found the GCFI kept trapped, I tried to repair it by myself, change the breaker and replace GCFI outlet, no help. So it's time to ask professional. Luckily, my wife saw someone recommend him on the social network website. So I used yelp to email him for help. He contacts me late that night, I describe the issue I have, he asked me to take some pictures of the panel, then he suspects the panel is broken, suggest me to replace it first, if it doesn't fix this issue I have, then he needs to troubleshooting. I knew something wrong with my panel, I did see sparks and heard buzzes before, so i asked for the quotation, Roger quote with reasonable price. So I haired him. Luckily, someone cancels the appointment, so he can stop by a few days early than my original appointment. The appointment was 8:00 AM, I was very surprised he shows up at driveway at around 7:40 AM and wait. He and his team were very professional, without any hesitation, they start to work immediately. Remove the old panel, install the new panel, and reorganize the cables, nice and clean. He and his team patiently answer any questions I have. After the installation, they also patch the wall, clean the work area, hull the broken panel away. I definitely will recommend him to my friends One more thing, after installed the new panel, it fix the electric circuit issue I have. read more

Highly recommended! Roger promptly responded with a reasonable quote and completed the job in less than 2 hours.

After advising Roger, he immediately texted back to advise he can switch it out for free the next day and he kept his word. That's what I call good customer service.
